Ta'amu Reinstated

Got to say I'm surprised they may be considering keeping him and cut ties with Wesleye Saunders. Maybe this is just a step required before releasing him or an indication how desperate we are at NT.

Steelers Reinstate Alameda Ta’amu

Posted 13 minutes ago

The Steelers reinstated nose tackle Alameda Ta’amu from the team’s Reserved/Suspended List, the team announced today.

Ta’amu was suspended for the Steelers’ last two contests (at Cincinnati and vs. Washington) and was inactive for the first five games of the season. Ta’amu was originally drafted by the Steelers in the fourth round (109th overall) of the 2012 NFL Draft.

The Steelers did not have to make any additional changes to the active roster because the team was granted a roster exemption.

its definitely an indication of desperation on that side of the ball. They need someone to pan out and having 2 picks tied up in this guy already, warranted him a second chance.

I think paulson made saunders expendable. Tomlin really likes the kid from what I can gather.

I wonder if T'mu can be released from the County Jail on game days?????? I don't see how he avoids doing some kind of time and avoids a league suspension.

Paulson is a nice little TE, but the "little" part is what concerns me for a #2. We have no one who matches Miller's size and receiving capabilities in one package. Saunders could do that but not Paulson.

Ed Bouchette's Steelers chat transcript: 10.30.12

TUESDAY, 30 OCTOBER 2012
WRITTEN BY ED BOUCHETTE

kjacksonpgh: Hi Ed, Is it possible that rookie defensive tackle Alameda Ta'amu could be released from the team. I know he was recently arrested on Oct. 14 and being charged with 15 counts will not help, but everything that I had read seems to state that this was out of his character. Your Thoughts

Ed Bouchette: My thoughts are just what I wrote on my blog lately, that the Steelers will need to make a roster move by 4 p.m. Wednesday and Ta'amu is the one I believe will be made.

War18: Ed, Saw Ta'amu is back from suspension, any chance he will see some playing time?
